Education Grants and Scholarships - UCH London Nurses' Charity

Grants and Scholarships

Education Grants:

The Charity offers two sources of grants to Associate Members looking to undertake further study.

Janet Hull Memorial Fund Travel Scholarship

This fund was established in 1979/80 in memory of Janet Hull, a UCH student and staff nurse who died tragically in a road accident on her return from honeymoon, one week after her wedding. Her parents took the initiative to create a memorial fund to help UCH nurses with travel costs in pursuit of professional nursing studies.

UCLH Charity now manages the fund and the Nurses’ Charity participates in the selection of candidates.

The fund is designed to continue in perpetuity and allows for a small annual increase to offset inflation. The money available for a scholarship is £2000.

The Janet Hull Memorial Fund Travel Scholarship is open to all registered nurses and registered nursing associates who are members of the UCH London Nurses’ Charity or are employed by UCLH.

Chair’s Report 2023

2 Aug, 2023

This is my fifth report as Chair of UCH London Nurses’ Charity. My thanks to the trustees, members of the Benevolent Fund Committee and volunteers without whose work the charity would not continue.
Our work has been successful over 2023, we continue to award education and benevolent fund grants, we have good liaison with UCLH

Reflections on the AGM

17 Apr, 2023

It didn’t cross my mind that a lovely sunny lunch with friends we hadn’t seen for several years during the summer of 2022 would lead to proofreading the UCH London Nurses’Charity magazine, involvement with the benevolent fund committee and attending the Annual Study Day and Charity Meeting! The repercussions of a reunion with wine can be significant.
